Summary
Machine operator with 6 years of operating experience. While working at Zims I got a ton of leadership experience being a setup. Working in a steel mill I have gotten years of experience working on the mill and working in the straighter and a few other machines. The melt shop gave me some knowledge working on the caster and some overhead crane experience.
